Frequently asked questions
We've compiled answers to the most common questions we receive. Our approach at Ava Parkin Photography is rooted in creating a comfortable, joyful experience, ensuring every photo reflects genuine moments and emotions. Explore the details below, and if you can't find what you're looking for, feel free to reach out!
How should I dress for my photography session?
We recommend choosing comfortable clothing that reflects your personal style. Solid colors or subtle patterns often photograph well. We'll provide a detailed guide after booking, but don't stress too much – the most important thing is to feel good!
When is the best time to do newborn photos?
The ideal time for newborn photos is typically within the first 5-14 days after birth. This is when babies are still very sleepy and flexible for those adorable poses. However, we're always happy to discuss options for slightly older newborns too.
How fast will I receive my photos?
We know you're excited to see your memories! Our typical turnaround time for delivering your edited gallery is 2-3 weeks from your session date. We'll keep you updated every step of the way.
Do you have a referral program?
Yes, we love when our clients spread the word! Please contact us directly at avaparkinphotograpghy@gmail.com to learn more about our current referral program benefits.
How do I book a photography session with Ava Parkin Photography?
The easiest way to book your session is to send an email to avaparkinphotograpghy@gmail.com. We'll promptly reply with a short questionnaire to gather some initial details about your vision and needs.
What advice do you have for clients who might feel nervous about their session?
Please don't stress about finding the perfect outfit or if your children are running around! My goal is to capture genuine moments and emotions. I promise to guide you through the process, make everyone feel comfortable, and ensure the photos look amazing and are something you will truly love and cherish. Relax, enjoy the moment, and let me handle the rest!
